Ingredients
Instructions
- Peel carrots and diagonally slice into 1-inch pieces. Measure to ensure you have 3 full cups.
- Add the carrots to a separate bowl (not in the air fryer basket). Drizzle with oil and add salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss thoroughly for an even coating.
- Preheat theย Air Fryerย at 400ยฐF (200ยฐC) for 4 minutes. Arrange the seasoned carrots in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they do not overlap. If you have too many carrots to fit in a single layer, cook them in batches.
- Air fry for 8โ13 minutes. Halfway through, shake the basket and rearrange the carrots into a single layer again for even cooking.
- Carrots are done when they are tender inside with a slightly crisp and charred exterior. Due to variance in air fryer models, if the carrots arenโt sufficiently crispy after 13 minutes, continue air frying and check every 1โ2 minutes.
- Season with additional salt to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or thyme if desired.
